Ah OK, sorry, I suppose that's what you get for reading things on the

GConf is no longer used for URL handlers in GNOME 3.

Choosing a preferred web browser copies the browser's .desktop file
(/usr/share/applications/midori.desktop in this case, I assume) to:

   ~/.local/share/applications/preferred-web-browser.desktop

The .desktop file holds the execute command.  Probably something like:

   Exec=midori %U


Also, a useful command-line test when Evolution doesn't appear to be
opening URLs or attachments properly is:

   gvfs-open http://www.example.org/

or

   gvfs-open /path/to/saved/attachment.pdf

This is essentially all Evolution does through a library call, and what
happens next is out of its control.  So this test will isolate whether
the misbehavior is Evolution-specific or your desktop configuration.

Hope this helps,
Matthew Barnes

It certainly looks OK, but you could try explicitly stating the same
path - do something like 

  gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command 
'/usr/bin/midori %s'

Beyond that, I'm afraid I don't know!  You might be better of looking on
Gnome mailing lists.

It looks like the same.

$ which midori
/usr/bin/midori
$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http
 command = midori %s
 needs_terminal = false
 enabled = true

I wonder if it's possible that something got confused and there are two
versions of the browser on your system.  If you do 'which midori' and
'gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http' does it come up with
the same location for the browser on both?

Good to know.

I checked that setting and it is set to »New Tab«.

A second test I did now was to enter `midori http://example.org/` in the
terminal and in that case with an instance of Midori running a new tab
was opened in the running instance.

The last test was to open an URL from another GNOME program like GNOME
Terminal. This showed the same behavior as Evolution and therefore this
looks like a general GNOME issue.


Thanks for your quick response with suggestions,

Paul

The URL handler that Evolution uses is set as part of Gnome Preferences
and you've already said that it is set correctly.  Beyond that Evolution
doesn't know how to do anything.  I have a feeling that this is
behaviour that is set in the browser itself.  In Midori go to
Preferences -> Browsing and make sure the "Open new pages in:" is set to
"New tab".

[Evolution] Evolution and Midori web browser: Links not opened in running instance

[Paul Menzel]

Dear Evolution folks,


using Debian Sid/unstable with GNOME 3, Evolution 3.2.2 and Midori 0.4.3
having an instance of Midori running and clicking on a link/URL in a
message in Evolution, the URL is not opened in a new tab as it used to
but Midori is started again as a new separate program (new PID).

Midori is set up as my default browser in the GNOME settings.

This used to work and I think that switching from GNOME Classic to GNOME
3 is the reason. Also I have no idea what to look for to find the cause
for this behavior.

Could someone please try to reproduce that before I create a ticket for
this in the GNOME bug tracking system.


Thanks,

Paul
